The calcitrans View in CoL group
This group is widely distributed in eastern Australia with many colourful species, yet it was only recently discovered. Davies and Żabka (1989) figured a male M. ottoi from the vicinity of Brisbane, but did not give it a name. Males inflate their spinnerets as they display to females. All members of the group have an asymmetric display in which they alternately extend or kick one leg III to one side, then the other leg III to the other side.
